Information required to confirm your place

We will also require the following pieces of information to allow us to confirm your place on the course. These can be forwarded to us after you have submitted your application:

If English is not your first language we will require proof of your proficiency, which will generally be either an IELTS or TOEFL test certificate. If you do not hold a formal English language qualification, please indicate how you have acquired your proficiency in written and spoken English. See postgraduate English language requirements.

Two references, at least one of which should be an academic reference (eg a college/university tutor or course director). If you left higher education several years ago, please request a reference from a professional who can comment on your suitability for the course you have applied for.

These can be scanned and attached to the online application, or alternatively you can email your referees' details to fassadmissionsenquiries@kingston.ac.uk and we will send them a reference form to complete and return.
